He Jin was so frightened that he knelt down and begged for mercy, shouting that he was guilty.
Zhang Rang refused to let go of causing trouble for He Jin and hurriedly spoke to Liu Hong.
"Your Majesty, I see how dissatisfied the general is since he has gained military power through meritorious service!"
He Jin glared at Zhang Rang, suddenly sweating all over with anxiety.
Unexpectedly, this castrated dog actually added fuel to the fire!
"Your Majesty, I never meant this! This time it's all my fault for listening to the slander!"
Wei Zhongdao was already panicking at this time, and was no longer as proud as when he entered the palace.
Things shouldn't develop like this! Shouldn't Liu Zhang be taken down and questioned?
Why am I now a slanderer!
"Your Majesty, then Liu Zhang stole my wife and killed me..."
"Shut up!"
Zhang Rang shouted loudly and scolded Wei Zhongdao in a high-pitched voice.
"I...I...I..."
Wei Zhongdao was so wronged that he immediately sat on the ground and cried.
But he didn't want to think about it, where was this?
In the palace hall, who would spoil him?
"This bastard, how dare you act recklessly here!"
Zhang Rang was unreasonable and unforgiving. Seeing Wei Zhongdao's appearance, he pointed at him and cursed him.
Liu Hong was also fed up with Wei Zhongdao, who was ill and almost harmed himself.
After that, he talked nonsense and slandered his close ministers.
The most disgusting thing is that after being exposed, he sat on the ground and cried. It was really humiliating!
"Behead it..."
Liu Hong uttered three words softly. He didn't want to say a single more word. He felt that such a person was completely unworthy of wasting his time.
When Wei Zhongdao heard these three words, he immediately stopped crying and rolled over to He Jin's side.
"General, save me! General, save me! My father is willing to pay any price!"
"General, as long as you save me! My father will give you one more thousand taels of gold!"
He Jin was dumbfounded when he heard this, how could this person be so stupid! He quickly kicked him out with his feet.
While kicking and insulting.
"I let you talk nonsense, let you talk nonsense!"
Wei Zhongdao was kicked by He Jin and he ran around. The ministers also ran around to avoid Wei Zhongdao.
This important place of the court seems to have become a place for street fun!
Liu Hong’s head is so big! What has happened! This is the palace hall!
"Quick! Pull him down for me."
"cut!"
The guard stepped forward directly, pressed Wei Zhongdao to the ground, and began to drag him out.
"Your Majesty, please spare my life! I was wronged, Your Majesty!"
"General, my Wei family is willing to pay two thousand gold! Save me!"
Before Wei Zhongdao could see the situation clearly, he desperately called He Jin to save him.
Not long after, Wei Zhongdao's head was presented.
"He Jin, don't you have anything to say?"
Liu Hong looked at He Jin expressionlessly, his tone was very cold.
"Your Majesty, please spare my life!"
"I was confused for a moment and listened to the slander! Your Majesty, please spare my life!"
He Jin knew that it would be difficult to make things right today!
"He Jin, it is a capital crime to deceive the emperor, and you can live for slandering the ministers!"
Liu Hong obviously didn't want to let him go easily and scolded him angrily.
"ah!"
He Jin didn't expect Liu Hong to be really angry and kept kowtowing and confessing.
"Your Majesty, spare your life, Your Majesty, spare your life!"
Some ministers who were good friends with He Jin also came out to intercede and asked Liu Hong for forgiveness.
"Your Majesty, please calm down. The general didn't investigate for a while, so he believed the slander!"
"Yes, Your Majesty, the general has worked hard and achieved great results, please forgive him!"
"..."
There were many people interceding for He Jin, and Liu Hong was even more angry.
That's it. He couldn't punish He Jin even if he wanted to. There were people blocking him everywhere.
"General Hou, what do you think we should do?"
Liu Hong suddenly had an idea and threw the question directly to Liu Zhang.
In this way, He Jin can be punished and all resentment can be placed on Liu Zhang.
Liu Zhang couldn't see Liu Hong's tricks, so he pretended to be frightened.
"Your Majesty, just now Wei Zhongdao said that the general has collected money from the Wei family. How about asking the general to hand over the money to your majesty as punishment?"
He Jin never expected that Liu Zhang would be so kind and would repay evil with kindness! She nodded to him immediately.
"Your Majesty, I am willing to punish you!"
Liu Hong was like this. As soon as he heard that he had money to take, his anger disappeared immediately.
"Okay, I'll punish you by giving two thousand gold coins to the treasury!"
"Your Majesty, I only accept..."
Just as He Jin was about to speak, the ministers on the side winked at him repeatedly.
"Hurry up and agree!"
"I thank your Majesty for not killing me!"
He Jin is so regretful! Before the Wei family's one thousand gold was received, they had to spend two thousand gold to give to Liu Hong!
no! You can’t pay for these two thousand gold by yourself! The Wei family has to come out!
He Jin has already made plans. He even wants the Wei family to pay an extra thousand gold to compensate him!
"Your Majesty, I have something I need to report to Your Majesty."
"oh?"
Liu Hong got two thousand gold and didn't care to stay a little longer.
"Liu Aiqing, please speak."
With the Wei family stumbling upon him like this, how could Liu Zhang give up?
"Your Majesty, although what the general said just now is not true, these things did happen."
As soon as these words came out, there was another uproar in the palace.
What happened to Liu Zhang? Isn’t this matter over? Are you still going to apologize?
"Your Majesty, the Wei family knew that Wei Zhongdao's death was not far away, so they deceived Cai Yong and intended to marry Cai Yan, Cai's daughter. I exposed it!"
"That Wei Jian still had a sense of shame and took the initiative to break off the engagement, so he didn't say anything about robbing other people's wives and daughters."
Liu Hong nodded, "I have never doubted the character of the general, and robbing other people's wives and daughters is pure nonsense!"
"Thank you, Your Majesty. As for the massacre of the guards of the Wei family, I did indeed do it!"
"oh?"
Liu Zhang looked at Liu Hong's confused expression and changed into a serious look.
"Your Majesty, the guards of the Wei family are all from the Yellow Turban Warriors!"
"What!"
Liu Hong was shocked, Yellow Turban Warrior? Isn't it the main force of the Yellow Turban Army?
"I have always had suspicions, but I thought that the Wei family in Hedong was a descendant of the former Great Sima Wei Qing, so I investigated secretly and did not report it!"
If Liu Hong can ignore everything, but when it comes to the Yellow Turbans, he must pay attention!
This is a major matter related to his throne! Hedong is right next to Luoyang. Once something happens, the consequences will be disastrous!
"Liu Aiqing, you don't have to worry about any feelings. Investigate this matter quickly and thoroughly! There must be no mistakes!"
Liu Zhang immediately knelt on the ground and leaned over to accept the order.
"I accept the order! We will investigate this matter thoroughly and live up to His Majesty's high expectations."
Liu Zhang squinted his eyes and sneered in his heart.
Wei family, I don’t want to trouble you, but you still dare to mess with me!
Wait! See how I destroy your Wei family!
Seeing that no one among the ministers spoke anymore, Liu Hong finally showed a satisfied smile.
"Since the ministers have nothing to report, let's retreat from the court!"
Liu Hong didn't even wait for the ministers to react and slipped away.
The emperor had left, and there was no need for the courtiers to stay here anymore, so they began to go out in groups.
"General, stay!"
He Jin stopped and looked at the person calling him, who turned out to be Liu Zhang.
He Jin didn't give Liu Zhang a good look. He didn't feel grateful that Liu Zhang had spared him. Instead, he hated him in his heart.
Ever since Liu Zhang appeared, everything has been going wrong for He Jin!
"General, let me take a step to speak!"
Liu Zhang doesn't care what your reaction is, he will take this opportunity to make it clear to He Jin.
Although He Jin hated Liu Zhang, he didn't want to fall out directly and walked directly to Liu Zhang.
"What advice does the general have?"
Liu Zhang chuckled and didn't care about He Jin's weirdness.
"Why is the general so hostile to me? You and I have no grudges at all!"
"General Liu, if you have something to say, you can say it directly. There is no need to talk in circles with He!"
